Use the video guide as a walk through menus/settings, but always use the latest settings above for the actual setup
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬


After years of incremental upgrades, LG 2023 OLED Series dramatically improved upon previous years' models, starting with G3 and its brand new MLA panel.

Luminance is much higher, ABL is much more relaxed, TPC & GSR got fixed, all presets and processing got revamped, accuracy OOTB has never been so good so all my previous Optimized Settings needed to be renewed (especially for gaming).

You can setup everything you need for both SDR / HDR / DV for both Movies & Gaming (including Console setup and in-game HDR demonstrations and settings) in just under 1 hour ;)
